A powerful, important read from @deb_cohen http://www.bmj.com/content/359/bmj.j5534 … its hard not to think the @gmcuk and the courts have got this very seriously wrong...

Exactly. Public don’t trust it. Doctors don’t either. And doctors resent having to pay for something they see as being “out to get them”.
-
Sounds a lot like the atmosphere in every regulated environment I've ever encountered tbh. Resentment is almost a natural inevitability, but especially so when regulatory credibility is lacking.
-
Is self-funded regulation common? I genuinely don’t know if it is “the norm” or unusual.
-
I'm a bit out of the loop now, but self regulation has been common for a while. As has regulatory capture, it seems. I think most models are more indirectly funded through industry, rather than direct contribution like docs. You're all too easy to track, (& blackmail for fees).

Any regulator needs “insiders” to ensure adequate understanding of the issues, obviously. But maybe on a “co-opting real staff” basis like CQC

That's an important point. And it's one that always leads to the question of independence. So many investigations have proven to be compromised in the past, it'll need to be nailed down. Along with the medical evidence being secured instantly. Plenty of peripheral issues here.
